Almost daily I spend at least 10 minutes reinforcing my emotional and mental sanity. And, really, that’s all it takes. Just 10 minutes. What is this miracle cure, you ask? Meditation.
Yep, that’s it. No miracle pill or the latest herb from the Amazon.
I just sit quietly for 10 minutes. It never ceases to amaze me how much this simple practice helps. I feel more calm, more in control, and more open to possibilities and challenges.
I highly recommend meditation to anyone. Personally, I do a form of meditation taught by Pema Chodron in her many wonderful books about the Buddhist way. However, there are many forms of meditation, some more formal than others, and you should find out what works for you.
If you want to check out Pema’s book that I first taught me about meditation, go here:
When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times (Shambhala Library)
Otherwise, I encourage you to do some research and find your own path to serenity.
